US President Barack Obama has fired back at Michael Jordan saying that he should worry about his "crappy" NBA team after the legendary basketball player called him a "sh**ty golfer".

Obama said during an interview on radio station WJMR that Jordan should stop focusing on golf, TMZ.com reported.

The 51-year-old retired basketball professional took a golf shot during an interview with Ahmad Rashad when he accused Obama with his claims.

The 53-year-old president said that Jordan wasn't very well informed about this andJordan might've just been trying to give Rashad an extra ratings boost on his show.

Obama added that there was no doubt that Jordan was a better golfer than he was as he was playing golf twice a day for the last 15 years, then that might not be the case.
